TITLE: Flywheel Removal - The Right Way and Several Wrong Ways

I forgot to list the reference for the first quote comparing the methods
and concluding the special tool was the preferred method.http://outdoorpowerinfo.com/repairs/...el_removal.asp

The second quote came from here.http://www.repairfaq.org/samnew/lmfaq/lmflyrml.htm

Both compared the two methods and concluded the special tool was safer.

Do you know of any reference that compares both method yet still decides
the hammer and screwdriver method to be preferred?

It isn't a "perfect" means to remove the fly...it is the preferred
method. Yes, you can damage the fly and/or crank...just miss-hit a
few times (or one good one)!
